2 Things Today

So what if I didn't get to see It's A Wonderful Life in the theater today.

I did get to see my boys visit Santa, and then just minutes ago I also saw Aidan lose his 3rd tooth!
I'd say those made for a pretty good day.

It's a wonderful life in its own way over here.

It just grosses me out

Loose teeth.

The way they hang, swinging back & forth from the gums.
Little blurps of red blood appearing, and then that tooth moving again.

Ick.

It so grosses me out.

Aidan is now on his 3rd loose tooth, this time being his top front tooth.
It's been loose forever, but I think it will be falling out within the day.

It is so loose it's not even staying straight, so every time he smiles it's all crooked.
That darn tooth.
So gross.

Love the kid, love his smile, but the darn loose teeth give me the willies.

Something is Missing

A tooth!!

We didn't even know one was loose!
We were enjoying dinner when Aidan kind of pulled something from his mouth. The expression on his face made you think maybe a hair was in his mouth or something.

Sure enough, he lost his first tooth!
There was a little blood, and I quickly made Pat check Aidan's mouth (loose teeth seriously gross me out).
You can already see the 2 adult teeth coming in! The one next to the one that came out is pretty loose, too.

We had no clue! I am so shocked, and as a parent, not prepared at all for this milestone.
I never thought it'd be a "big" one, but holy moly, there is ADULT stuff in my boy's body!
Physical proof he's growing up!

I asked him if he knew one was loose, and he just shrugged & replied "nope!', happy as can be.
I was thinking we'd have at least a few months before this. He hasn't even started kindergarten yet!
I just can't believe it. And yes, you'll be hearing me say that a lot, but I just can't help it.
I'm looking at my Aidan, and all I can think is that he's growing up so fast.
He's making this momma step back and desperately want to slow it all down, or maybe just hit the PAUSE button for a bit.

Right away he went to put the tooth under his pillow.
What do you suppose the tooth fairy leaves for the first lost tooth these days, anyway?
